Chris Hoy Career

Early cycling career

When Hoy joined the City of Edinburgh Racing Club in 1990, he joined Dunedin C.C., his first cycling club, and began focusing on track cycling in 1993. Phil Liggett and fellow Scottish sprinter Craig MacLean were rated as medalists by 1997.

At the 1999 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Berlin, Hoy took silver, riding at man one, Craig MacLean at 2, and Jason Quealley at 3. Craig MacLean, Ross Edgar, Jamie Cook, Jamie McKeny, Jason Queally, Matthew Crampton, and Jason Kenny have all been regular participants in the team sprint over the years.

Motorsport career

Hoy's passion for motorsports led him to compete in the inaugural season of the Radical Sportscars SR1 Cup, winning his first motorsport podium at Snetterton in the same season. In Radical's SR3 RS and RX open sportscars, Hoy has since competed in selected rounds of the Radical SR3 Challenge and Radical European Masters. Hoy would compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2014 on April 8th, 2014.

At the start of the 2015 European Le Mans Series at Silverstone, Hoy claimed his first victory in international competition alongside teammate Charlie Robertson. In the series' LMP3 class, the two teams won two more times, including at Circuit Paul Ricard's penultimate round, which gave them the class championship with a round to spare.

He then rode at the London Olympic Stadium in 2015, becoming a replacement for Jorge Lorenzo after the motorcyclist sustained leg burns on his motorcycle as a result of post-race celebrations.

However, Hoy and Grosjean were defeated in the first round by the Young Stars group of Pascal Wehrlein and Jolyon Palmer.

In March 2016, Hoy will be registered for the 2016 Le Mans 24 Hours, revealing a Ligier JS P2-Nissan with Andrea Pizzitola and Michael Munemann. He was the first Olympic medalist to compete in Le Mans, and the second Olympian to do so after alpine skier Henri Oreiller.

The race ended in 17th overall and 12th in class for Hoy and his coworkers.

Why Chris Hoy went from the kid to a £5 bike after being inspired by E.T. to six-time Olympic champion as he reveals cancer diagnosis aged 47

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 17, 2024
When Sir Chris Hoy first saw a certain iconic scene from 1982's film E.T., he was inspired to get on his bike aged six. The Extra Terrestrial is located in Uruguay. His first set of wheels cost just £5 and started an incredible journey to become one of the United Kingdom's most decorated and beloved Olympians. The 47-year-old Scot revealed on Friday that he is fighting cancer and receiving chemotherapy, which is 'thankfully going well.'

According to DOUGLAS ROSS, this lifeline in our living rooms brings us all together as a nation

The moments that bring us together as a nation and a world also unite us as families around the television screen come and again, both good and bad. It was the late Queen's Coronation and the Moon landing that brought my grandparents' generation together. At Christmas and Diana's wedding, my parents, Morecambe and Wise were there. I will never forget the horrific events of 9/11 and Katherine Grainger's golden triumph in London 2012. We're all assumed that if there is something significant on the box, we'll all participate and share it. However, certainty is being weakened by technological advancements that threaten some populations, leaving some people behind.
